WHEREAS, Los Angeles Unified School District (the “District”), located in the County of Los Angeles (the “County”), is committed to ensuring all of its public school students have access to a high-quality educational program in school facilities, classrooms, and labs that are environmentally and physically safe, secure, updated, and support 21st century learning; and

WHEREAS, the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic has highlighted the essential role that schools play in our community and the importance of in-person teaching and learning; and

WHEREAS, 131 new schools and 65 school additions have been built to end year-round calendars, to relieve severe overcrowding and provide some students with quality local schools; and

WHEREAS, nearly 22,600 rehabilitation, modernization, and replacement projects have been completed; and

WHEREAS, such improvements are not only benefiting students, teachers and the communities they serve, but also the local economy and workforce by generating more than 350,000 full-time jobs and more than $1 billion in wages, and local tax revenues to date; and

WHEREAS, while the progress made to build schools and reduce overcrowding is significant, the reality is that the District has serious unmet needs when it comes to rehabilitating and upgrading our schools; and

WHEREAS, current estimates show over $50 billion of unfunded facilities needs at approximately 1,100 schools and centers district-wide, and those needs grow every year; and

WHEREAS, the majority of students are learning in old and outdated classrooms, while some students are learning in schools that are new or have already been updated and modernized; and

WHEREAS, over 500 schools serving approximately 380,000 students need to be comprehensively modernized to provide equity between newer schools and older, aging schools; and

WHEREAS, such disparity between facilities is unfair and puts many students at risk of falling behind in preparing for college and career, simply because of the neighborhood they live in; and

WHEREAS, more than 70% of school buildings within the District were built more than 50 years ago, and many are deteriorating, and do not meet today’s standards for learning and safety; and

WHEREAS, approximately 500 school buildings at schools serving more than 175,000 students, need to be evaluated for earthquake safety and many will need to be retrofitted, modernized or replaced for earthquake safety; and

WHEREAS, the District is committed to upgrading schools to ensure and maintain full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and meet the needs of all students; and

WHEREAS, approximately 500 schools need new or updated science labs, as well as expanded and renovated art, music, and performing arts spaces; and

WHEREAS, nine million square feet of school roofs and 38,000school heating ventilation and air conditioning units are old, unreliable, and need replacement now; and

WHEREAS, hundreds of schools require a camera/buzzer system to provide a secure, controlled, entry point to help keep them safe and secure; and

WHEREAS, over 500 schools need public address and intercommunications systems replaced now; and

WHEREAS, schools need upgraded cafeterias so that they can better serve students, 40 schools need an actual cafeteria to replace a “hot shack,” 280 schools need upgraded kitchen equipment, and nearly 500 need new or upgraded air conditioning; and

WHEREAS, the COVID-19 crisis has made it necessary to reimagine school facilities to ensure teaching and learning can happen in a safe environment; and

WHEREAS, schools now need COVID-19 adaptations such as well-ventilated spaces, hand sanitizing stations, touchless faucets, automatic flush urinals and toilets, motion sensor hand dryers, touchless/hands-free/automatic doors, and physical barriers such as clear plastic sneeze guards to help keep students, teachers and staff safe; and

WHEREAS, schools, students and teachers rely on individual computing devices as a necessary learning tool; and

WHEREAS, on average schools will need 119,400 new computing devices annually, and a total of 1.2 million new individual computing devices over 12 years as the existing devices age, become unreliable and no longer perform as needed to support teaching and learning; and

2

WHEREAS, there is significant unmet need for preschool seats in the Los Angeles area; and

WHEREAS, in the County approximately 230,000 children, ages two to four, lack access to a seat in a licensed childcare center, and within the boundaries of the District alone, more than 110,000 children, ages two to four do not have access to a seat in a licensed neighborhood facility; and

WHEREAS, providing students with access to outdoor spaces can build their health, contribute to their cognitive and social/emotional development, improve sensory skills, increase attention spans, and improve students’ moods and happiness, however many schools lack adequate outdoor learning spaces; and

WHEREAS, the District serves over 70,000 adult education students annually in 10 adult education centers and over 140 satellite locations throughout the District that are aging and outdated; and

WHEREAS, the District’s adult education facilities need to be replaced and upgraded so they are safe, functional, support 21st century learning and align with regional industry sectors and career pathways such as: health care, information technology, automotive, construction and aviation training; and

WHEREAS, a new bond measure will create thousands of local jobs benefitting the region’s economy; and

WHEREAS, on December 5, 2019, the Board of Education of the District (the “Board”) passed the Transitioning Los Angeles Unified School District to 100% Clean, Renewable Energy Resulting in Healthier Students and More Sustainable, Equitable Communities (Res 018-19/20) Resolution, which committed the District to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy in its electricity sector by 2030 and in all other energy sectors by 2040, requiring improvements and modifications to school facilities; and

WHEREAS, upgrades to outdated schools will also include important clean, renewable energy improvements, resulting in more sustainable learning environments, communities, and healthier students; and

WHEREAS, all District bond measures are subject to strict oversight and accountability, all expenditures are reviewed by an independent citizens’ oversight committee, and all bond projects, contracts and activities are subject to review, audit or investigation by an inspector general; and

WHEREAS, the District needs to continue to address facilities inequities throughout the District so that each and every student has access to a safe, updated and modernized school that supports 21st century teaching and learning; and

EXHIBIT A
FULL TEXT OF BOND MEASURE

LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT SCHOOL UPGRADES AND SAFETY MEASURE

This measure may be known and referred to as the “Los Angeles Unified School District School Upgrades and Safety Measure” or as “Measure __”. [designation to be assigned by County Registrar of Voters]

BOND AUTHORIZATION

By approval of this measure by at least 55% of the voters of the Los Angeles Unified School District (the “District”) voting on the measure, the District shall be authorized to issue and sell bonds of up to $7,000,000,000 in aggregate principal amount to provide financing for the specific school facilities projects listed under the heading entitled “BOND PROJECT LIST” below (the “Bond Project List”), and qualify to receive State of California matching grant funds, subject to all of the accountability safeguards specified below.

ACCOUNTABILITY SAFEGUARDS

The provisions in this section are specifically included in this measure in order that the voters and taxpayers of the District may be assured that their money will be spent to address specific school facilities needs of the District, all in compliance with the requirements of ArticleXIIIA, Section1(b)(3) of the California Constitution, and the Strict Accountability in Local School Construction Bonds Act of 2000 (codified at Section 15264 et seq. of the California Education Code (the “Education Code”)).

Evaluation of Needs. The Board of Education of the District (the “Board”) has evaluated the facilities needs of the District in order to determine which projects to finance from a local bond at this time. In order to address the facilities needs of the District, the Board deems it necessary and advisable to fund the specific school facilities projects listed in the Bond Project List. The Board hereby certifies that it has evaluated safety, class size reduction and information technology needs in developing the Bond Project List.

Limitations on Use of Bonds. Proceeds from the sale of bonds authorized by this measure shall be used only for the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or replacement of school facilities, including the furnishing and equipping of school facilities, or the acquisition or lease of real property for school facilities, and not for any other purpose, including teacher and administrator salaries and other school operating expenses. More specifically, the Bond Project List provides for the specific projects the District proposes to finance with proceeds from the sale of bonds authorized by this measure and such proceeds shall be applied only to those specific purposes.

4163-0700-8799.19

A-1

Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee. In accordance with and pursuant to Education Code Section 15278 et seq., all expenditures of revenue generated by this measure shall be subject to review and oversight by an independent citizens’ oversight committee. The District’s established School Construction Bond Citizens’ Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) will continue to be the single statutory oversight committee for this measure and all previous bond measures approved by the voters and requiring such a committee.

In accordance with Section 15282 of the Education Code, the Committee shall consist of at least seven members and shall include a member active in a business organization representing the business community located within the District, a member active in a senior citizens’ organization, a member active in a bona fide taxpayers’ organization, a member that is a parent or guardian of a child enrolled in the District, and a member that is both a parent or guardian of a child enrolled in the District and active in a parent-teacher organization. No member of the Committee shall receive compensation. No employee or official of the District and no vendor, contractor or consultant of the District shall be appointed to the Committee.

The purpose of the Committee shall be to inform the public concerning the expenditure of bond proceeds in accordance with the provisions of Education Code Section 15282. The Committee shall actively review and report on the proper expenditure of taxpayers’ money for projects on the Bond Project List. Each year the Committee shall review and report to the public regarding the independent performance and financial audits of the District’s bond funded expenditures.

In accordance with Section 15280 of the Education Code, the District will provide the Committee with any necessary technical assistance and shall provide administrative assistance in furtherance of its purpose and sufficient resources to publicize the Committee’s conclusions. The District shall also provide the Committee with sufficient funding for the procurement of independent legal services, independent professional services, and dedicated administrative assistance.

Annual Performance Audits. In compliance with the requirements of Article XIIIA, Section 1(b)(3)(C) of the California Constitution, and the Strict Accountability in Local School Construction Bonds Act of 2000, the Board shall conduct an annual, independent performance audit to ensure that the proceeds from the sale of bonds authorized by this measure have been expended only on projects listed on the Bond Project List. These audits shall be conducted in accordance with the Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States for performance audits. The audits shall be submitted to the Committee in accordance with Section 15286 of the Education Code.

Annual Financial Audits. In compliance with the requirements of Article XIIIA, Section 1(b)(3)(D) of the California Constitution, and the Strict Accountability in Local School Construction Bonds Act of 2000, the Board shall conduct an annual, independent financial audit of the proceeds from the sale of

A-2

bonds authorized by this measure until all of those proceeds have been spent for the school facilities projects listed in the Bond Project List. These audits shall be conducted in accordance with the Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States for financial audits. The audits shall be submitted to the Committee in accordance with Section 15286 of the Education Code.

Special Bond Proceeds Account; Annual Report to Board. In compliance with the requirements of California Government Code Section 53410 et seq., upon approval of this measure and the sale of any bonds, the Board shall take actions necessary to establish an account in which proceeds of the sale of bonds authorized by this measure shall be deposited. In compliance with the requirements of California Government Code Section 53411, until all authorized bonds have been issued and proceeds expended, the chief fiscal officer of the District shall cause a report to be filed with the Board at least once a year, stating (a) the amount of funds collected and expended in that year, and (b) the status of any project required or authorized to be funded from bond proceeds. The report may relate to the calendar year, fiscal year, or other appropriate annual period as the chief fiscal officer of the District shall determine, and may be incorporated into the annual budget, audit, or other appropriate routine report to the Board.

Strategic Execution Plan. In addition to accountability provisions required by paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 1 of Article XIIIA of the California Constitution, subdivision(b) of Section18 of ArticleXVI of the California Constitution, Education Code Section 15266 and Education Code Section 15278 et seq., the Board has determined that before funding is authorized for a project on the Bond Project List, the Board shall authorize in a public meeting the scope of work to be undertaken, cost estimate and proposed schedule for each project, which shall be incorporated into a Strategic Execution Plan (the “Strategic Execution Plan”). The Board has further determined that the Committee shall be given the opportunity to review and make a recommendation to the Board on a proposed project, and report on the proper anticipated expenditure of taxpayers’ money before each project is considered by the Board and included in the Strategic Execution Plan.

Professional Management. Principal responsibility within the District for implementation and delivery of the construction and modernization program funded by proceeds from the sale of bonds authorized by this measure shall be vested in a Facilities Services Division, which shall be headed by a Chief Facilities Executive who shall report directly to the Superintendent. Managers within the Facilities Services Division working on the bond program shall have educational and employment experience comparable to that of persons with similar responsibility in the private sector.

To ensure that the District employs managers within the Division who are so qualified, and because the required qualifications and responsibilities of the managers of the Facilities Services Division are unique relative to those of other District classified positions, the Board or Superintendent of Schools shall, subject to the merit system provisions of the Education Code, no less than biennially,

A-3

cause a compensation survey of managers in major construction programs and managers in major public and private facilities in comparable locations across the United States in both the public and private sector, and the Board or Superintendent of Schools shall make a finding that the managers of the District’s Facilities Services Division are being compensated at a level that will be competitive in the marketplace thereby better ensuring that the District will be able to continue to hire and retain highly qualified and experienced individuals to manage the bond program.

The Board shall provide the Facilities Services Division with dedicated procurement, finance/accounting, legal (with primary responsibility in the hands of in-house attorneys with expertise in public construction, environmental/California Environmental Quality Act, eminent domain, real estate, prevailing wage enforcement, public contracting, and other related specialized areas of law), information-technology, human resources, and other support services for the successful implementation of the construction and modernization program funded by the bond proceeds received under this measure.

FURTHER SPECIFICATIONS

Single Purpose. All of the purposes enumerated in this measure shall be united and voted upon as one single measure, pursuant to Education Code Section 15100, and all the enumerated purposes shall constitute the specific single purpose of the bonds, and the proceeds from the sale of bonds authorized by this measure shall be spent only for such purpose, pursuant to California Government Code Section 53410.

Bonds may be Issued in Excess of Statutory Bonding Limit. Issuance of all of the authorized bonds may require the outstanding debt of the District to exceed its statutory bonding limit (currently 2.50% of the total assessed valuation of taxable property in the District). In that event, the District intends to seek a waiver of its bonding limit from the State Board of Education, which has the power to waive certain requirements of the Education Code applicable to the District. By approval of this proposition, the voters have authorized the District to seek such a waiver, and to issue authorized bonds in excess of the District’s then applicable statutory bonding limit as the State Board of Education may approve. No such waiver has yet been sought or granted.

Other Terms of the Bonds. When sold, the bonds shall bear interest at an annual rate not exceeding the statutory maximum, and that interest shall be made payable at the time or times permitted by law. The bonds may be issued and sold in several series, and no bond shall be made to mature more than the statutory maximum number of years from the date borne by that bond.

ESTIMATED BALLOT INFORMATION

The District is required by law to include in the statement of the measure to be voted on estimates of the amount of money to be raised annually to repay the bonds and the rate and duration of the tax to be levied for the bonds. As of the

A-4

time this measure was placed on the ballot, the District estimated an average tax rate of approximately 2.174 cents per $100 of assessed valuation (annual repayment amount averaging $329,528,000) while the bonds are outstanding (estimated to be approximately 34 years). Attention of all voters is directed to the fact that such information is based upon the District’s projections and estimates only, which are not binding upon the District. The amount of money to be raised annually and the rate and duration of the tax to be levied for the bonds may vary from those presently estimated due to variations from these estimates in the timing of bond sales, the amount of bonds sold and market interest rates at the time of each sale, and actual assessed valuations over the term of repayment of the bonds. The dates of sale and the amount of bonds sold at any given time will be determined by the District based on need for project funds and other factors. The actual interest rates at which the bonds will be sold will depend on the bond market at the time of each sale. Actual future assessed valuation will depend upon the amount and value of taxable property within the District as determined by the County Assessor in the annual assessment and the equalization process.

BOND PROJECT LIST

The Bond Project List below contains the school facilities projects the District proposes to finance with proceeds of the bonds. The Bond Project List shall be considered a part of this bond measure and shall be reproduced in any official document required to contain the full statement of the bond measure. Listed school facilities projects will be completed as needed at a particular school facility or school facility site owned or to be acquired and owned by the District (or where the District has or will obtain a long-term property interest) according to Board-established priorities and a planning and assessment process that includes, among other things, a Facilities Condition Assessment (an “FCA”), capacity analysis, demographic forecasting, seismic risk analysis, federal accessibility requirements, cost avoidance, health and safety conditions, and any facilities modifications required by law, as applicable. The order in which projects appear on the Bond Project List is not an indication of priority for funding or completion. In so far as permitted by law, each project is assumed to include its share of costs of the election and bond issuance, and applicable related costs such as project and construction management, architectural, engineering, inspection and similar assessments (including FCA), planning, designing and testing costs, commissioning, systems evaluation, integration and stabilization, demolition and interim housing costs, legal, accounting and similar fees, costs related to the annual independent financial and performance audits, a contingency for unforeseen design and construction costs, and other costs incidental to or necessary for completion of the listed school facilities projects (whether the related work is performed by the District or third parties). The final cost of each project will be determined as plans are finalized, construction bids are awarded, and projects are completed. In addition, certain project funds may come from non- local-bond sources, including State funds for eligible projects. If the District obtains unexpected funds from non-local-bond sources with respect to the listed school facilities projects, such projects may be enhanced, supplemented or expanded to the extent such funds are available. Some projects may be subject to further government approvals, including by State officials and boards and/or local

A-5

environmental or agency approval. Inclusion of a project on the Bond Project List is not a guarantee that the project will be completed (regardless of whether bond funds are available). Moreover, the Board cannot guarantee that the bond proceeds will provide sufficient funds to allow completion of all projects on the Bond Project List nor that a project may be implemented at every campus.

PART ONE – PROJECTS FOR ALL SCHOOL FACILITIES

The following projects listed in Part One may be financed with proceeds from the sale of bonds authorized by this measure at any and all school facilities or any or all school facility sites owned or to be acquired and owned by the District (or where the District has or will obtain a long-term property interest) throughout the District:

PART THREE – MISCELLANEOUS

All projects listed in Part One and Part Two of the Bond Project List include the following as needed:

A-24

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Interpretation. The terms of this bond measure and the words used in the Bond Project List shall be interpreted broadly to effect the purpose of providing broad and clear authority for the officers and employees of the District to provide for the school facilities projects the District proposes to finance with the proceeds of the sale of bonds authorized by this measure within the authority provided by law, including Article XIIIA, Section 1(b)(3) of the California Constitution, Education Code Section 15000 et seq. and the Strict Accountability in Local School Construction Bonds Act of 2000. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such words as repair, improve, upgrade, expand, modernize, renovate, and reconfigure are used in the Bond Project List to describe school facilities projects in layman’s terms and are not intended to expand the nature of such projects beyond, or have an effect on, and shall be interpreted to only permit, what is authorized under ArticleXIIIA, Section1(b)(3) of the California Constitution, Education Code Section 15000 et seq. and the Strict Accountability in Local School Construction Bonds Act of 2000. In this regard, the Bond Project List does not authorize, and shall not be interpreted to authorize, expending proceeds of the sale of bonds authorized by this measure for current maintenance, operation or repairs. This bond measure only authorizes school facilities projects that constitute capital expenditures.

A-25

Headings. The headings or titles of the sections of the bond measure, including any headings or titles included in the Bond Project List, are solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning, construction or effect of the bond measure.

Severability. The Board hereby declares, and the voters by approving this bond measure concur, that every section and part of this bond measure has independent value, and the Board and the voters would have adopted each provision hereof regardless of every other provision hereof. Upon approval of this bond measure by the voters, should any part be found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid for any reason, all remaining parts hereof shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent allowed by law, and to this end the provisions of this bond measure are severable.

A-26

EXHIBIT B
TAX INFORMATION STATEMENT

An election will be held in the Los Angeles Unified School District (the “District”) on November 3, 2020, to authorize the sale of up to $7,000,000,000 in bonds of the District to finance school facilities projects as described in the measure. If the measure is approved by at least 55% of the voters of the District voting on the measure, the District expects to issue the bonds in multiple series over time. Principal and interest on the bonds will be payable from the proceeds of tax levies made upon the taxable property in the District. The following information is provided in compliance with Sections 9400 through 9405 of the California Elections Code.

1. The best estimate of the average annual tax rate that would be required to be levied to fund this bond issue over the entire duration of the bond debt service, based on assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement, is 2.174 cents per $100 ($21.74 per $100,000) of assessed valuation. The final fiscal year in which the tax to be levied to fund this bond issue is anticipated to be collected is fiscal year 2054-55.

2. The best estimate of the highest tax rate that would be required to be levied to fund this bond issue, based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement, is 3.906 cents per $100 ($39.06 per $100,000) of assessed valuation in fiscal year 2032-33.

3. The best estimate of the total debt service, including the principal and interest, that would be required to be repaid if all of the bonds are issued and sold is approximately $11,202,085,000.

Voters should note that estimated tax rates are based on the ASSESSED VALUE of taxable property on the County’s official tax rolls, not on the property’s market value, which could be more or less than the assessed value. In addition, taxpayers eligible for a property tax exemption, such as the homeowner’s exemption, will be taxed at a lower effective tax rate than described above. Property owners should consult their own property tax bills and tax advisors to determine their property’s assessed value and any applicable tax exemptions.

Attention of all voters is directed to the fact that the foregoing information is based upon the District’s projections and estimates only, which are not binding upon the District. The average annual tax rate, the highest tax rate, the final fiscal year in which the tax is anticipated to be collected and the year or years in which they will apply, and the actual total debt service, may vary from those presently estimated for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation, due to variations in the timing of bond sales, the amount or amortization of bonds sold, market conditions at the time of each sale, and actual assessed valuations over the term of repayment of the bonds. The dates of sale and the amount or amortization of bonds sold at any given time will be determined by the District based on need for project funds and other factors, including the legal limitations on bonds approved by a 55% affirmative vote. Market conditions, including, without limitation, interest rates, are affected by economic and other factors beyond the control of the District and will depend on the bond market at the time of each sale. Actual future assessed valuation will depend upon the amount and value of taxable property within the District as determined by the County Assessor in the annual assessment and the equalization process.

B-1

The growth or decline in assessed valuation is the result of a number of economic and other factors outside the control of the District.

Dated: __________, 2020.
